Okay, since I'm in such a good mood and it's my mother's much belated birthday, I decided to add another chapter for you today, in honor of tonight's brand new episode. Now, this is not normal for me; I'd only update on Fridays, but since it's Wheeler's return tonight, I decided to break my comfort zone and do a update today. I'm so excited by tonight's episode, not only because of Wheeler's return, but Mary Shannon makes an appearance. It's gonna be really good!

Also, I'm working on a brand new CI story; only this one will be all fluffy and smutty. Be on the lookout for that very soon!

One more thing, I'm jumping ahead with the time line due to Alex's pregnancy.

Enjoy and happy reading!

Lots of love, hugs and kisses from your resident writer and friend, Nina!

Alex was tired. Really tired. The pregnancy was taking a toll on her, but she wouldn't have it any other way.

Sitting on the recliner and watching television, she knew this day would come. Ross had her on maternity leave because he didn't want anything bad to happen to her or the baby. She wanted to work, but at the same time, having some time off did her some good. She was able to relax more and think about the changes that's gonna be happening once the baby was born. Or should I say babies?

Yes, babies, ladies and gentlemen. They were expecting twins. The news sent Alex and Bobby through the roof when they visited the doctor last month. They were expecting twins; a boy and girl, so they had to redecorate the nursery and buy everything double. It was challenging, but they made it work.

Bobby's hours were cut back so he can be at home more with her. And, since the drive from Brooklyn to Manhattan wasn't long, he made sure he stopped by the grocery store to fulfill her ridiculous cravings of sardines, bananas, ice cream and olives. He cringed just thinking about it, but he wanted his children to be born healthy and sound.

Alex smiled when she felt the babies move around. A strong kick made her laugh. She's gonna be raising two future soccer players. There's no way her son and daughter are gonna be cops.

"That's right; you're not gonna be cops. You're gonna do something great with yourselves. Bobby and I will make sure of it. You both are gonna be so spoiled, it's ridiculous," she laughed as she rubbed her very large belly with her hands. Just then, she heard the door open.

"Babies, I'm home," Bobby beamed when he walked inside with sacks of groceries in his arms.

"Geez, Bobby, did you buy the whole store?" Alex joked.

"Just making sure you're well fed, that's all," he replied as he went into the kitchen and sat the stuff down on the counter. Alex joined him a few minutes later, whistling.

"Go sit down, baby. I got it under control," he assured her.

"I need to be on my feet sometimes. I'll go crazy if I stay in one spot," she informed him.

"I know, but I was giving strict orders that you were to be resting, that's all. Let me take good care of you," he said as he went over and took her in his strong arms. She laid her head against his shoulder and sighed deeply.

"Can you believe we're having twins?" she thought surprisingly.

"No. It was only yesterday that we admitted our love for each other," he sighed loudly.

"Bobby, I'm so happy, I could burst. You're the greatest thing that ever happened to me. Now, we're gonna be parents. This is a dream come true," she said happily.

He kissed her forehead gently. "You're my dream come true, Alex. I never known anyone quite like you. You complete me. You respect me and, most of all, you love me despite the past I had. Now, I wanna take it to another level. To make this complete."

She was shocked. Happily shocked when he got down on one knee and pulled out a small black, velvet box. Tears of happiness started falling from her eyes when he opened it up and displayed the most sparkling diamond engagement right she'd ever seen in her life. Holding her hand into his, he slid the ring on her finger halfway, smiling when he did this.

"Alexandra Haley Eames, I love you with all my heart and soul. You're giving me the greatest gift known to man; two beautiful children. I thought I could never find someone who loves me unconditionally, but you came along and gave me all the love I needed. You're the reason why I smile all the time now. You give me hope and comfort. Whenever I'm down and out, you're always there to cheer me up and to make sure I'm gonna be all right. Truth be told, I wanted to make you my wife from the moment we became partners and best friends, but as they say 'better late than never'. From the bottom of my heart, will you do me the honor of making my life complete by being my wife? Baby, will you marry me?" he asked, looking at her with hope in his eyes.

For the first time in her life, she was speechless. This was even better than she imagined. For a long time, since Joe's death, she thought she would experience happiness with someone. But Bobby came along and brightened her day, healed her broken heart and made all of her dreams come true. She thought she would never be happy again but he came along and changed her mind. Now, he was on bended knee, pouring his heart and soul out to her. She couldn't think of anything better.

"Bobby, I love you, too. And, yes, I would love nothing more than to be your wife," she finally said. He screamed happily as he slid the ring on her finger all the way, then he got up, picked her up despite her belly being in the way and spun her around the kitchen. Together, they were laughing and crying, totally deliriously happy.

"This is the happiest day of my life," Alex cried when he finally sat her down. She stared at the diamond right and realized how beautiful it looked on her finger.

"A beautiful ring for a beautiful woman like you," he whispered in her ear softly, then he lavished a kiss on her earlobe, sending shivers up and down her spine.

"Bobby, you're spoiling me," she giggled.

"Hey, I have to make sure my number one girl is spoiled. Just like I'm gonna make sure Ashley and Anthony are spoiled rotten, too," he concurred.

"Ashley and Anthony?" she asked, looking confused.

"Yes. Ashley Amanda Goren and Anthony Michael Goren. I would love for them to carry my last name, just like you," he smiled at her.

She leaned over and kissed him softly, then she pulled back and looked into his heavenly brown eyes. She couldn't be more in love with him right now.

"We love it," she grinned foolishly.

Wheeler residence

Bronx, New York

April 27, 2008

It's been four months since Megan and Danny started sleeping together and everyday it just got better and better. Much better when Danny and his two boys moved in with Megan two months later. They all loved her and her cool nature. She became more like a fun mother to them, since Kate decided to get up on re-pursuing Danny and moved out of town.

However, her ex-boyfriend was not happy when he found out that the Ross family moved in. He was beyond pissed, beyond angry and beyond furious. He went ballistic when he heard the news. He had enough of just sitting around in the dark waiting to do something. He was sick and tired of having to hear and see Megan and Danny being all in love with each other. He was sick and tired of waiting around for her to come back to him. It was now time to take action. And he was gonna take it big time.

Clutching the small handgun in his hands, he walked up the steps to her home and rang the doorbell. Seconds later, he heard footsteps. His breath caught in his throat when the door opened.

For a moment, she felt like she was being bitch slapped. She thought was hallucinating. Her heart pounded furiously in her throat and she just wanted to curl up and die. As if calling her on the phone and leaving seven messages on her voice mail was bad enough, now he's standing at her comfort zone. He found out where she lived!

"Hello, Megan. Long time, no see," he snarled at her.

"W-what are you doing here? How did you know where I live?" she asked, her voice cracking.

"I have my ways, beautiful. Did you think I wouldn't find you after you broke my heart and left me high and dry?" he snickered angrily.

"You must be hallucinating or something. I left you because you cheated on me and got another girl pregnant. So what if the baby didn't turn out to be yours? But, that turned out to be a lie because you altered the paternity test so you can have a reason not to be the father. Too bad, though. You slept with her and I found out," she retorted.

He grabbed her arm and yanked her towards him. "You should've forgave me and took me back. You should've been a good girlfriend and gave me a second chance. I made a mistake but you're holding that against me and I'm not gonna have it. And, I had to find out that you're sleeping with your boss? How fucked up is that?"

"Danny loves me, unlike you," she simply said.

"He don't love like I love you. He's old enough to be your fucking father!" he snapped.

"Kyle Monroe, let go of me right now!" she roared.

"No! You're coming back where you belong. We can make it work this time! Give me another chance and I'll make you the happiest woman in the world! Come back to me!" he screamed.

"What the hell is going on out here?" Danny barked when he saw his girlfriend being manhandled by some dude at the doorway.

"Danny, this is Kyle Monroe, my psychotic ex-boyfriend," Megan said as she managed to snatch her arm away from him.

"So you're the one who kept harassing my woman and scaring the daylights out of her? Man, when are you gonna take a hint? She doesn't want you anymore!" Danny snapped.

"No, she doesn't want you!" Kyle fumed.

"Actually, she does," Danny smiled as he leaned over and slanted his mouth over hers ruthlessly. She moaned and wrapped her arms around him, which pissed Kyle off even more. They were just making out right in front of him!

"You bitch! All this time, you've been cheating on me! Well, if I can't have you, I'm gonna make sure the Jewish fagot can't have your ass, either!" Kyle snapped as he pulled his gun out and pointed it right at her, which made her scream. Danny saw what was about to happen and lunged at Kyle full force. For an older man, he was stronger and much more resilient. However, that proved to be short lived because moments later, shots rang out.

Megan screamed when Kyle got up and surveyed the damage he caused, then he smiled at her briefly before he pointed her gun at her. She pulled her gun out of her holster, but it was proved to be too little, too late.

Seconds later, more shots rang out. When it was all said and done, Kyle was already gone and Megan and Danny were on the ground, lying in the pool of their own blood and trying to stay alive.

Well, his name is finally revealed and I said one cop was gonna be shot, but I upped the ante with two cops. Now, will Danny and Megan survive? Will Kyle be caught? And what about Brenda Kramer? What kinds of tricks she has up her sleeve? More drama for your mama in the next chapter! Stay tuned!
